Identification of a novel mutation in the NTF4 gene that causes primary open-angle glaucoma in a Chinese population

PURPOSE: Neurotrophin-4 protein (NT-4) plays a role in the protection of retinal ganglion cells by activating tyrosine kinase B (TrkB) receptors. A recent study identified mutations within the neurotrophin-4 (NTF4) gene to account for 1.7% of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in Europeans. The aim...
